Author Topic: why the hell won't employers even give me a call back?  (Read 3712 times)

If you dropped out of college or whatever, doesn't matter. Put it on the resume.

These low paying no nothing jobs usually hire on the spot if you have college experience even if you've only went to college for a couple of months, lol.

Clean up your social media page if you have one.
Apply to more than just 10 places.
Call back in a week after applying. This shows initiative and that you really want the job.

All your applications are probably in the garbage if it was 3 months ago.

Make sure on your applications that you actually try & use proper grammar & spelling.

Visit Snagajob.com. This is the website I used to get a job near by because companies post openings when they need people. I applied and got asked to an interview the next day a few times doing this.

call back or go in or a lot of places won't even consider you

The most bullstuff excuse for not getting hired is because you have no experience. Some entry level jobs actually say you need experience.

Well how the forget can you get experience if no one will hire you.

Even if you have little to nothing, always submit a resume in some form. It shows credibility and professionalism. Don't just make it look bland with dots, put work into it. Name your school achievements and physical attributes like how long you can stand and lift things ect.

i've heard this time and time again.

you got two options, pick the former if it's applicable or the latter if it's not.
easier route but not always possible: utilize connections (oh hey your friend works at this one company as an IT, the job i want is IT maybe i can have him put in a good word for me) this games the system very well and overrides pretty much every other requirement. hey you plan on being a firefighter and are ecstatic about being one? try to be friends with maybe firefighters or people who are also interested in firefighting. if the field you want (lets say a doctor or a lawyer) doesn't really make you excited and you just want it for the money then ask yourself this: is it worth taking in the first place? people don't throw that kind of advice around for no goddamn reason. take the field you really want and try to make it profitable.
or
harder route: take a stufftier job that will give you experience and put in lots of trial in error to get said stufftier lower paying job. nobody makes $100k a year minutes after getting out of college, accept a 20-30k a year job as long as it gives you experience. suck it up and actually get along (this does not mean be friends) again if you work hard and take opportunities even at the stuff job you might actually be surprised how many employers take notice. this also falls in line as to how having a job you have passion for goes a long way and can make the difference between you being stuff and you being a fantastic employee.
the reason that employers want experience is to see that stuff for themselves. so you having done 2 years of said job and it turns out you're a hard worker definitely sets you apart.

Even if you have little to nothing, always submit a resume in some form. It shows credibility and professionalism. Don't just make it look bland with dots, put work into it. Name your school achievements and physical attributes like how long you can stand and lift things ect.
this too, if you can just bloat it, even if it actually isn't much the fact that you put effort into making it look like a lot does show a lot.
keep in mind all the little details you can add and please for the love of god add them.

grow drugs!!!

or use any of these fine suggestions above me


just so yk tho growing drugs is more fun

I just can't see doing all this bs with resumes and initiative when it's loving mcdonalds

Fun fact: That "requires X amount of experience" is HR bullstuff. Basically, HR (Human Resources, the department responsible for hiring) will ask the departments what they'd like in potential candidates, and then they'll market it as "requires" in hopes that only the best will apply for the position.

If you believe you're up to the task, just apply anyway. It might turn out you were the only who applied, or they might give you an interview and you can dazzle them in the interview. Just throw those resumes out like you've got nothing else to live for.
